Real Sociedad v Athletic Club – Wednesday, 8pm
Punters can bet on Real Sociedad v Athletic Club with William Hill
- It’s been a great start for Pellegrino Matarazzo in charge of Real Sociedad having won eight of his twelve games in charge so far (D3, L1), including a 1-0 victory in the first leg last month.
- La Real are unbeaten in their last six home games in all competitions and haven’t lost to Athletic Club here since 2017, winning six of the nine meetings since (D3), you can back Real Sociedad at 23/20 to win this one.
- A 1-0 lead is always difficult to defend but especially when thirteen of Sociedad’s last fifteen matches have seen both teams score, whilst they’ve won two of their three meetings already this season against the Lions.
——————————–———————— - Quite remarkably, only Barcelona have won this competition more times than Athletic Club, the Lions have reached the final on forty occasions and have been victorious in twenty-four of those.
- The Lions have it all to do though being 1-0 down from the first leg, add this to the fact that Athletic Club have failed to keep a clean sheet in their last fifteen competitive matches so we should see goals here, William Hill have priced Athletic Club at 7/2 to win this tie.
- This should be a thrilling encounter with both sides having a tendency to be involved in goal-fests and the fact that Athletic Club simply have to win, i’m going to back a home win but both teams to throw everything at it.
Prediction: Both Teams To Score & Real Sociedad To Win (10/3), Real Sociedad 3-2 Athletic Club (28/1).
